Just watched Keith on MSN in the Live Earth concert. I'll to post a link. Check out "I Told You So". Real small body guitar he's playin'. Is it a New Yorker style?

Hope that worked!

Looks like a Les Paul Jr to me.

Typically a "New Yorker" is an acoustic small bodied guitar.

Nice link - i liked the performance.

That's some custom little guitar, much smaller than a New Yorker.

I suspected it might be smaller, but I've never held one so I had nothing to go on for scale. Anyway I thought it was pretty neat.

Definitely a Gibson Les Paul Jr in "Gimme Shelter". Looks like a reissue of some sort. Great video! I love the way Keith plays.

Oops -- yea i was talking about the "Gimme Shelter" video.

On the one you are talking about, which i went back and watched -- i have no idea what that guitar is. It is definitely smaller than a "New Yorker" body.

I do like the mix on that number -- you don't even hear that da$$ banjo :)

Yeah, it's a Jr all right...tiny little thing. He sure makes it sing, though.

Keith Urban plays a Gibson LP Jr. in several of his videos. I didn't watch Live Earth; I was conserving energy.
:rolleyes:

I think the small-bodied super lightweight he was holding was Nicole Kidman.
